Product Profile of Spacer/ Flywheel Type Industrial Couplings
Spacer/ Flywheel Type Industrial Couplings are completely free from backlash that makes them ideal for reversing applications, especially with geared drives. Industrial Couplings tolerate large amounts of misalignment like 4° angular, up to 6mm parallel and 8mm axial in all planes as well as offering simple installation and inspection without disrupting the drive. These Industrial Couplings have good shock absorption capacity and available in spacer and flywheel type of construction. Spacer/ Flywheel Type Industrial Couplings consist of internal load carrying cords, which are wound in both directions to ensure no problem on reversing drives.
Key Features of Spacer/ Flywheel Type Industrial Couplings
- Tyres are available in standard and Fire Resistant Anti-Static [FRAS] construction - so no static build up of electricity and fire resistant.
- Compact design.
- Larger T/L`s available on certain `F` flanges to increase maximum bore capacity.
- Also available in Spacer and Flywheel types.
- Lubrication free shaft coupling.
- Large misalignment capability, 4° angular, up to 6mm parallel and 8mm axial.
- Very good shock absorption - couplings "wind-up" approx. 12° at maximum torque to absorb shocks in a system.
- Internal load carrying cords are wound in both directions, so there is no problem on reversing drives.
- Visual inspection of tyre to detect wears - no machine strip down.
- Wide variation of flanges available.
- Design Powers to 900kW at 1440 Rpm.
